Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

The cause of suffering was discovered last time.

When she mentioned Wuhua, the sect leader Yue was clearly displeased.

At the time, she thought that this Sect Leader Yue was being petty and that he disliked her because he sensed the reverence in her tone...

She wanted to explain that she only admired his profound Buddhist teachings and had no other intentions towards him.

He should not let his own prejudice cause him to dislike this eminent Buddhist monk.

But I'm worried that this explanation might cause the other party to misunderstand.

She struggled with this for a long time.

Unexpectedly, there were so many twists and turns behind the scenes!

She didn't doubt the truthfulness of Yue Buqun's words, after all, the absurd and bizarre things he had said before had now been verified.

Moreover, this matter could be verified by Master Tianfeng and even many eminent monks of Shaolin. Now that she is in Shaolin, he has no reason to say things that are so easily exposed.

She exclaimed in shock, "Wuhua is such a treacherous and despicable person? Why didn't Master Tianfeng...?"

She paused halfway through her sentence.

Yue Buqun sighed, "Even a dog, after being raised for more than twenty years, would have developed feelings for it. Moreover, although Master Tianfeng's Buddhist teachings are profound, he has not yet reached the point of being detached from emotions. He could only sever Wuhua's thoughts in this almost self-degrading way. People all marvel at the human relationships in Shaolin, but they do not know the deep affection Master Tianfeng has for his child."

After a pause, Yue Buqun glanced at Ku Yin and said, "Moreover, a female disciple in the Divine Water Palace is pregnant, and the Heavenly Divine Water has also been lost. It's certain that a man stole it, but the Divine Water Palace Master, Water Mother Yin Ji, hates men the most, so she never allows men to enter the Divine Water Palace. However, Water Mother Yin Ji is a devout Buddhist and often invites eminent monks to the Divine Water Palace to discuss Buddhist teachings. Hmm... who did this? It's hard to guess."

He really is a bit stingy.

However, Ku Yin now has great faith in Yue Buqun and does not doubt these things.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her thin lips pursed, and she said unhappily, "Sect Leader Yue, do you have any way to make him reveal his true form?"

There's no way.

"What?"

"Wuhua is just a venomous snake hiding in the shadows. Although Master Tianfeng loves him, his principles have not been shaken. Although he has a great reputation, it is all empty fame and he can't get any of Shaolin's momentum at all."

Moreover, once his identity is exposed, even if people in the martial arts world say they don't mind, they will definitely be wary in their hearts, making it extremely difficult for him to cause trouble in the future.

Yue Buqun said, "Compared to others, Nangong Ling can manipulate the entire Beggars' Sect. This is the main culprit we urgently need to eliminate. If we kill Nangong Ling, Wuhua won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Are we just going to let him stay out of it?"

Yue Buqun said, "Dealing with Nangong Ling first and avenging Madam Ren's husband's death is the right thing to do. As for Wuhua, we can deal with him after he rebels."

Chu Liuxiang viewed Wuhua as a major threat, even considering him superior to Nangong Ling.

However, Yue Buqun's views were clearly the opposite.

Yue Buqun was wary of Shi Guanyin because Shi Guanyin's martial arts skills were far superior to his own.

The reason they feared Nangong Ling was because the Beggars' Sect had a large and powerful force...

As for you, Wuhua, what is there for me to be wary of?

Reversal...

The wording was strange, but Ku Yin understood it immediately.

She sighed softly, "For now, this is the only way."

Just moments ago, he seemed to hold Wuhua in high esteem, but now it was as if Yue Buqun didn't take him seriously at all, while Ku Yin wished he could expel him from the Buddhist community immediately.

After a thorough discussion of the causes of suffering.

Leaving Jin Lingzhi to accompany his aunt, Yue Buqun led the other members of Huashan back to the accommodations arranged by Shaolin for the Huashan Sect.

The Emei sect members were assigned to meditation rooms on the back mountain, which was quite far from the main temple on the front mountain... probably because they were all women.

Although the leader of the Huashan Sect is male, all the disciples are female, so it is obviously inappropriate for them to live in the dormitory.

This can be considered as Yue Buqun benefiting from Ning Zhongze and the others.

Mount Hua is relatively close to Mount Song, so Yue Buqun was among the first group to arrive.

A few days later...

Representatives from Wudang, Diancang, Yongcui Mountain Villa, and other places also arrived one after another.

To Yue Buqun's surprise, the representative of Wuzheng Manor was not Yuan Dongyuan, but Yuan Suiyun!

Although he was blind, his behavior was no different from that of an ordinary person.

Even when he came to pay his respects and passed by Yue Buqun, he paused slightly.

Although no words were spoken, the meaning was already quite clear.

I recognize you.

This made Yue Buqun quite wary.

Deceiving Yuan Suiyun before was a last resort.

Although his haphazardly fabricated Thirteen Styles of Cloud and Mist fooled Yuan Suiyun at the time, those martial arts theories were in fact cobbled together from various sources.

Unless Yuan Suiyun has extraordinary martial arts talent and can actually cultivate some unparalleled martial arts through these messy theories, he will eventually find out that he has been tricked.

Therefore, after Yue Buqun learned the true Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, he immediately put forward various corresponding theories.

It was all to fool Yuan Suiyun.

Unexpectedly, this guy was much smarter than I thought, and he realized it so quickly.

The two had spent a considerable amount of time together and understood each other very well.

Yue Buqun knew all too well.

This guy is definitely not one to suffer in silence.

He'll definitely find a way to make up for it...

We must be wary!

A few days later, even the leaders of the most distant sects, such as Kunlun and Kongtong, arrived.

At this point, almost all the top figures in the martial arts world had gathered at Shaolin.

February 6th!

The dragon raises its head!

Also known as the Day of Heavenly Pardon.

The four seasons, with their unique energy, give birth to all things, and pardon sins and forgive transgressions.

The fact that Shaolin chose this day for the martial arts tournament makes its meaning quite clear: it implies leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist.

But to everyone's surprise...

The Beggars' Sect is not far from Shaolin Temple.

During this period, even the Kunlun Sect, which was far away in the Kunlun Mountains, rushed over, but the Beggar Clan has yet to send anyone to the scene.

The whole thing has an eerie feel to it.

But Shaolin didn't care about them. The righteous path of the martial arts world had its own consensus. If they reached a consensus, they would fight the enemy together.

The purpose of holding this martial arts conference was actually to give the Beggars' Sect an opportunity to defend itself.

If they give up.

Then the various sects will launch a coordinated attack on the Beggars' Sect unless they bind and bring out their leader, Nangong Ling, and admit their mistakes.

But this would completely ruin the reputation of the Beggars' Sect.

That morning.

An open space in the Shaolin Pagoda Forest.

Its territory is vast, serene and solemn.

Shaolin Temple built more than a dozen simple viewing platforms here for the leaders of various sects to rest and escape the sun.

Master Tianhu is the host of this martial arts tournament.

All the sect leaders gathered here, along with their core elders and elite disciples, totaling probably several hundred people!

Everyone was waiting here.

It was already noon.

No one from the Beggars' Sect has yet attended.

Tianhu then slowly stepped into the center of the field.

He spoke slowly: "Esteemed sect leaders and fellow martial artists, you are all aware of the purpose of this martial arts gathering held by Shaolin. The former leader of the Beggars' Sect, the old leader, raised a tiger only to be devoured by it. Fortunately, his widow, Ren Qiulingsu, escaped with her life, which brought this tragedy to light and also uncovered an old martial arts incident from twenty years ago..."

His voice wasn't loud.

But it rang clearly in everyone's ears, like a whisper, demonstrating superior internal strength.

He said calmly, "Please invite Madam Ren to the stage and recount this old grudge of the martial arts world to the public!"

Qiu Lingsu, dressed in a simple white dress, slowly walked onto the stage.

Her graceful figure immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her.

She spoke slowly, her voice gentle and clear, drawing the listener in unconsciously.

"That was twenty years ago, an old story. On that day, Ren Ci brought back a baby..."

Qiu Lingsu spoke in a calm tone, yet her words were quite concise and to the point.

From taking in the child, to the couple working together to raise the child with great care, to the child poisoning Ren Ci, and then watching helplessly as he dies from the poison at the last moment, and then imprisoning her, leaving her with no way to seek help.

His tone was calm, but the meticulous care he had given her over the past twenty years had resulted in such a cruel and merciless backlash.

Her words revealed a deep sorrow that was beyond words.

The leaders of many sects also had their brows furrowed deeply.

After all, the righteous path of the martial arts world is of one heart and one mind. If they were to associate with such people, wouldn't that be a disgrace to them?

Qiu Lingsu kept Yue Buqun's instructions firmly in mind and never uttered any deductions.

She couldn't be sure whether Nangong Ling was of Japanese pirate lineage, so she remained silent.

They only went into detail about how they had carefully raised a thankless child.

After she finished speaking, she bowed gracefully to everyone, her voice already choked with emotion.

She said softly, "When my late husband was alive, he told me that all the martial arts practitioners were generous and upright men, whom he greatly admired. He treated them all with the respect due to a younger brother. Now he has been persecuted by villains and has met with misfortune. I beg you, the sect leaders, to seek justice for my late husband and not let him become a wronged ghost in the afterlife, unable to rest in peace!"

Everyone's eyes were wide with rage.

Liu Yinsong, the leader of the Bashan Sect, frowned deeply, about to speak up to uphold justice.

Outside the hall, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.

"She's lying!"

A figure flew in and rushed into the center of the arena.

Although his clothes were old, they were clean and tidy, with several patches on them, clearly indicating that he was a member of the Beggars' Sect.

He said coldly, "This vile woman has already been having an affair with another man, murdered her own husband, and now she wants to frame someone else for the crime. You all must not fall for her evil tricks!"

After saying that, he pointed to Yue Buqun, who was stationed at the Huashan Sect.

He said coldly, "This man is the adulterer. This was witnessed and heard by everyone in our Beggars' Sect. How could it be false?"

Yue Buqun: "???"
